Wedding and THRILLanes II

Everything went well as we got to Makati Shangri-la Hotel. Everybody can now laugh “genuinely”.:)

This is the view from Makati Shang. I believe this is the time when gunshots were fired.

Now, everybody is really worried. That’s one thing I learned, it’s scarier when you’re not in the middle of chaos.

While at the Pen, we can’t stand all being said about the coup. We felt they are overacting and it’s stressing us to death.

But while in Shangri-la, all TVs are tuned to different channels regarding Trillanes.

This becomes my favorite shot – window shot:)

We were very calm and busy at the same time when the tank entered Pen.

Can you guess?:)

We used to say “everybody smile” or “everybody say YES” or we can be naughty “everybody say SEX” but this time it’s “everybody say TRILLANES!” I was surprised to find out that despite the anger with Trillanes, he can bring out the best smile from everybody. hehehe.

The moment that almost never happened. I can’t imagine what Mars felt when she was walking the aisle. She never expected this attendance.

Well attended – including former President Fidel Ramos as one of the principal sponsors.

It might not be audible but what they’re praying for is very loud and clear.

Earlier they resigned already and all they want is to just get married, with or without everything.

Mars and Rian was given a rare gift -it’s the opportunity to experience what matters most in life.

What a beautiful photo essay! This is more than just a wedding coverage, you captured the essence of what truly mattered amid the chaos. Dinolara: 1. Trillanes: 0.

THe bride and groom seemed so brave, that no matter what happens in our own little world, nothing prevails but their true love to each other.
You were amazing, Dino. I would rather read this again and again than INquirer…
please don’t censor my comment like Jason did…hehehe :P

Thanks everybody :)

It sure was a historic wedding. And inspiring too. They really didn’t let anyone rain on their parade despite the guns, rogue soldiers, and army tanks. Love can really make things happen. Not angst, like what Trillanes has.

Great capture. Your shots really showed the juxtaposition of love and hate.

Trish Samaniego-ChicaDecember 1, 2007 - 12:23 pm

I saw the other photos super inspiring the love you captured on cam. Best wishes to the Newlyweds and Congrats Sir Dino. ;)

Melanie DujuncoDecember 1, 2007 - 2:59 pm

BEAUTIFUL!!! It brought tears to my eyes just reading about it, and learning that it turned out beautifully… and looking at your pictures… so moving and really captured very priceless moments and emotions.

Congratulations!!

Hey! Inspite of all the hassles and bustles…. the wedding pushed thru! Hooray….NICE SHOTS!!! =) Mr. Dino. You captured every single moment, detail by detail. After all, you did a great job. Keep it up.

Thanks Cathy, April, Melanie, Trish, Kat and everybody :)

Your comments really made my day. :)

Hi Dino. The pictures are great! I am very impressed. Thank you so much for staying on throughout the event. You made the day very special for my sister, Mars and Rian.

Hello!
Great pictures! I personally liked the b/w foto of the bride & her little attendant. About “it’s scarier when you’re not in the middle of chaos.”, well, it’s like being in the eye of a typhoon where it is always calm.

more weddings to cover for you!

Cheers!

dinolaraDecember 3, 2007 - 10:33 am

Hi Tricia, the hero of the day. Thanks and big thanks for handling everything well. Otherwise, there’s nothing for me to photograph. :)

Thanks Curlets :)

“Earlier they resigned already and all they want is to just get married, with or without everything.”

This gave me goosebumps. Ang sweet. :’)
Rock and roll!!! Buti naman, despite of the chaotic Pen, they pulled it off really good.
